Timing of Insulin (NA):

- Typically, it should be taken about 30 minutes before a meal, not 2 hours after.

Consultation:
- Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
- Adjustments in timing or dosage should be made under medical supervision.
-
Safety Precautions:
- Taking insulin too late can lead to poor blood sugar control or hypoglycemia.
- If you experience symptoms like dizziness or confusion, contact your doctor immediately.
Recommendation: Follow your diabetes care team's guidance for safe insulin use.
